I still can't leave them alone!

This is why I've been such a blog slacker. If I spend more than 30 minutes on the computer this is what I find.....

seriously, they see nothing wrong with this picture!!!

Sonograms and Vicks Vapor Rub

A few weeks ago my sister was going for her 20 week u/s. I thought since the girls are so into pregnant belly's and babies that they would get a kick out of going to the appointment. So the girls and I entered the appointment towards the end. The tech was putting gel on my sisters belly and showing the girls the heartbeat. I really didn't think the girls even got it.

Later that night after we got home they were upstairs in their room playing. I was peeking through the door hole (because there is no door knob, different story) and I saw Chloe laying on their hope chest. Kayla had tucked a towel in Chloe's pants and was using a pencil to move around her belly. So I opened the door and asked what they were doing. Kayla said Chloe has a baby in her belly and they were looking at it. Then she shows me the Vick's that she was using as the "gel" to rub all over Chloe's belly! I guess they did "get it"!

By the way, my sis is having another girl!!

Happy 4th birthday to the peanuts!

I had this scheduled to post on the girls birthday, yesterday, but it didn't for some reason.

Anyway, happy birthday to my beautiful little girls. I love you!

Pierced ears

So the girls have been asking to get their ears pierced for a few months off and on. I would kind of ignore the subject because I planned on doing it when they were between 8-10 years old. They brought it up again on June 20th and for some reason we ended up at the mall that day to get their ears pierced.

Kayla sat in the chair first. The girl let them each pick out their earrings. Kayla picked red for her birthstone and Chloe picked blue. I asked the girl if she had a co-worker that could help. That way they could pierce both ears at the same time. She said they could do that.
Kayla was such a big girl, she sat still and she didn't even cry. Even though she totally looked like she wanted too. Actually, I cried, but I didn't let her see me!!!




For some reason I can't get Chloe's video off Shawn's phone. She did cry only for a minute. I felt really bad. Afterwards they were happy, I was happy and they did look really cute.
They give me a hard time everytime I have to clean them, which is a pain since I'm suppossed to do it 4 times a day. I'm lucky if we do it 3 times. But they look really good, not infected for anything. I only have 30 more days to clean them!!! UGH!

Congratulations to the City of Champs.

First the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Superbowl. Now the Pittsburgh Penguins come through with a victory against the dreaded Detroit Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup. Last year we came so close to winning but fell short against the same team. We history was repeating itself the Penguins knew they had to change the outcome. In the game 7 with the series tied 3-3 the Pens had to win a battle in a building where it never seems like the puck goes their way. But they persevered, dominated and came out on top to become the Stanley Cup Champions. Sidney Crosby the youngest captain at age 21 brought his team to victory. The city of Pittsburgh is excited to have two champions teams in the same year. The Pens truly deserve this win and congratulations for an excellent hockey season!!!!

Hershey Park

Last week we took a little vacation to Hershey Pa. We visited Hershey Park, Chocolate World, and also went to Lancaster to Dutch Wonderland and Amish Country.

Let me just say Hershey Park is amazing. The girls were able to ride so much and the rides are scattered all over the park. So you're not just stuck in "kiddie land". They were "Reese's" so they were able to ride alot of bigger rides. Like the Falcon Flyer, The Comet roller coaster, The Whip, The Howler and many others. They absolutely love rides that spin in circles. Me on the other hand, I like to hold the purses.

If you go to Hershey Park, a visit to Chocolate World is a must, just the smell of chocolate when you walk in is worth it!!!

It was a great time of year to go because it wasn't crowded at all. It was a little chilly and looked like it was going to rain, but the rain held off.
The girls on the Frog Hopper, they probably rode this at least 5 times!!!

Chloe, Dad and Kayla on the Turtle Whirl at Dutch Wonderland.

We went on a horse and wagon ride through a little off the Amish Country in Lancaster. The girls really enjoyed that and the views were beautiful.

Our horses Mike and Ike....good boys!!!!

I definitely want to try and go back there again next year! It was great and not a far drive from Pittsburgh.

Dance recital

Last year when we started dance the girls absolutely hated it. They wanted nothing at all to do with it. So we waited until January and signed them up at a different school. There were only 6 girls in the class which was great. The girls ended up loving it! They never complained about going and they seemed to enjoy it when they were there.

Their dance recital was on June 6th and June 7th. All the girls came out and danced. They may have changed it everytime, but at least everyone came out and did something. It was really cute.

Chloe and Kayla
